Holy s%&t! The speed is amazing in itself but what really got my attention was the way it was still accelerating when it reached 331mph, I wonder if with a taller top gear (or longer road?) it could have gone faster still.

As an aside and speaking as a Kiwi, calling it Tuatara seems weird. I get the rational (the Tuatara reptile has "the fastest molecular evolution of any living animal" ~wikipedia) but the creature itself is anything but fast!

When I read the title, I was like "331kph, pfft, what's the deal?", then I realized the letters read M P H and I realized, "boy that's over 500kph!".

Will the tyres also melt in 15 minutes, like in a Veyron?

Yeah, but can it corner???

 

Amazing driver.
